ABSTRACT: Gestational trophoblastic diseases (GTD) are one of the
rare complications of pregnancy, which include partial and complete moles with
their more aggressive counterparts termed as Gestational trophoblastic
neoplasias (GTN). Their association with uterine vascular malformations is well
recognised and should be suspected in appropriate clinical settings. Selective
uterine artery embolization is a safe and effective alternative method of
treatment in a patient with severe per vaginal bleeding from residual uterine
vascular malformations due to GTN which has relative lower morbidity and
mortality than surgical procedures. Here, we report a case of residual uterine
arterio-venous malformation due to invasive mole detected by ultrasonography
(US) and contrast enhancedMRI &
referred to Interventional Radiology for Transcathetor arterial
embolization.
